Antony, In lieu of a meeting, could you update the community on the progress of your code - when it's at a point to be merged, we'd like to get it merged in and then be able to create corresponding tickets for others to continue work in the near term and then also scope out additional tickets that could comprise a GSOC project.
Steve - if I give you the proper karma, do you want to work with Antony and Vladimir to create the appropriate tickets on JIRA?
